“Everyone tells me to stay away from him. But if only I knew how to resist him…”
Goa isn’t supposed to be on Damon O’Neil’s list of places to stay while working in India. It’s merely a substitute for his planned trip to visit his sister in Paris for Christmas and the New Year. His boss had other ideas. He’s sent Damon to carry out urgent upgrades to the company’s offshore units and Damon can’t say no.
When Damon encounters an extra-spicy curry, a handsome Indian guy named Virat comes to his rescue. Damon is instantly smitten with his looks, and especially with his cute smile. But Damon soon realizes he is very much out of his league when Virat introduces his new wife.
However, there might just be a chance Virat isn’t all he pretends to be …
Review:
Damon is a man stuck in Goa where he really doesn’t want to be for the holidays because of his job, but he’s trying to make the best of it. Virat is in Goa with his wife for their honeymoon.
When the two men meet for the first time, there is instant attraction and just maybe because it’s forbidden, it makes it all the hotter.
The problem with this story is that it’s just too short. There’s so much going on and none of it really gets fleshed out enough.
I know that insta-love happens a lot in romance novels. When there is only so much time to tell your story sometimes things need to be rushed, but this was just too fast.
Damon goes from meeting Virat to stalker-like behavior in almost a matter of hours. And Virat abandons his wife on his honeymoon to spend time with a stranger? It’s hard to like him because of that.
I would have loved to have seen this drawn out a little more. I wanted to know more about Damon and Virat, see what made them tick and watch them circle around each other a little more.
Part of my problem is also the lack of any real guilt on Damon’s part for actively coming between Virat and his wife. Where was the compassion for the woman who was being embarrassed through no fault of her own?
It’s a good premise and the writing is good, but I think 72 pages just wasn’t enough time to explore this story.
